This weekend, Watford vs Charlton Athletic predictions and betting tips kick off the Saturday Championship programme at 12.30pm at Vicarage Road, where a stubborn Charlton side look to frustrate the hosts.
Watford lost 5-1 at Cardiff last time out and have lost four of their last five, leaking goals at an alarming rate. Charlton, meanwhile, have drawn five of their 10 games and have lost only twice all season, making them an awkward afternoon’s work.
Anthony Eadson expects a low-key, tight affair and has shaped his selections around the corner count and Charlton’s leading marksman.
Premium Tips
A Vicarage Road opener that could hinge by fine margins.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Over 10.5 total corners | 21/20 (BoyleSports) | When one side is this leaky and the other this cautious, the corner count offers a sound way in. Charlton have drawn five of their 10 games and sit 13th, keeping things tight without threatening much at the other end. Watford, 22nd and chasing the game at home, will push bodies forward, which tends to force plenty of set-piece pressure. With Charlton happy to defend their box and work the ball wide rather than through the middle, a double-figure corner count is well worth backing at just over evens in a game that could easily be short of clear chances. |
| Tyreece Campbell to score anytime | 3/1 (Paddy Power) | Charlton do not create a lot, but when they do score it usually runs through Tyreece Campbell. He is the Addicks’ top scorer with four goals in 10 games and carries their main threat on the counter, exactly the sort of game plan that suits a trip to a leaky Watford side. The Hornets have shipped 19 goals already, the joint-worst defensive record in the division, and were beaten 5-1 at Cardiff and 4-0 at home by Burnley inside the last month. At 3/1 Campbell makes plenty of appeal to find the net against a back line that keeps giving chances away. |

How Watford go into the game
Watford sit 22nd on eight points and arrive in poor form, beaten 5-1 at Cardiff last time out. That was a fourth defeat in five, a run that also took in a 4-0 home loss to Burnley and a 1-0 defeat at Bristol City.
The Hornets have scored only eight goals in 10 games and conceded 19, so tightening up is the priority. Amin Nabizada top-scores with three.
How Charlton Athletic go into the game
Charlton arrive 13th on 14 points, having drawn five of their 10 games, the joint-most in the division. Their most recent outing was a 2-2 draw at Burnley, and they have lost only twice all season.
The Addicks defend stubbornly, though 10 goals in 10 games shows where the work is needed. Tyreece Campbell leads the scoring with four.
